Studio

Took my new 550 D for a spin the other day and what better place than a shoot. The light is right where you want it. The people are right where you want them. Feels Good :)

The Mumbai Film Festival

Helped Vidha put together the Mumbai Film Festival Posters.. It was fun working on the last few days of it, she's been at it for a few months!

Both of us sat together one evening and tried to boil down what would be iconic about the watching a "Mumbai Film Festival"
... when my dad came along and started telling us little stories around filmmaking. One of which was about the film cans and reels being taken by handcart or a cycle from one theatre to the next between the 3:15 and the 3:30 show.

Finally at the end of the day, even a film takes a cycle, or a handcart and has to travel amongst the everyday. That's Mumbai :)

Flipping through magazines

I've decided i'm putting the magazines lying around the office to some better use... Also try a bit of realistic rendering.. Its convenient to shy away from it... I've also taken out the watercolour kit now.. its bin drying up :( Anybody want to post me a spraycan? I've been using a toothbrush... You can send me those too though.. :)
